RC Harvey’s obit on Roy Doty
Skip to commentsI really enjoyed RC Harvey’s obit on Roy Doty over at The Comics Journal.
Doty, too, was unadulterated. But not silent. In declining health since suffering a stroke late last year, he died March 18, defiant, I like to think, to the very end.
He was 93. He always scoffed at the idea of retirement. ?Retire from what?? he?d say. ?You have to have a job first.?
He was a proud freelancer and had been all his working life. ?I have an unblemished work record,? he?d say. ?I have never held a job in my life, and I intend to keep it that way.? He was a cartoonist, artist and illustrator, creating humorous pictures in books and magazines, packaging, advertising, comic strips and television.
